How to process a curly cut in a curly slice
You will need:
- a printed pattern of your product + paper for the add-in and change the pattern;
- tracing paper;
- pencil, ruler and paper scissors;
- fabric for the product (+ fabric for wrapping, if you want to make it from another fabric);
- stabilizing adhesive pad;
- pencil, crayon or marker for fabric;
- scissors for fabric;
- tailor pins;
- iron;
- wooden stick or peg for eversion;
- sewing machine and thread.
Step 1
If the pattern does not initially involve scallops, you must first add them. Choose the shape you like and the approximate size of the festoon. Measure the line along which the festoons will be located, and calculate the desired width of each element, based on the fact that they will all be the same. Add papers, if necessary, and draw scallops. For convenience, you can cut out a template from cardboard and use it.Having drawn a line of festoons, add allowances using a ruler.
Step 2
Transfer the edge with scallops to the tracing paper. Add the desired edging width. Cut out the pattern of the part to be trimmed.
Step 3
Cut out the details from the main fabric, the overlay details and the details from the stabilizing material (for the latter, use the overlay pattern by cutting off the allowances). Glue the parts from the stabilizer gasket to the trim parts so that the allowances remain free.
Step 4
Sew side seams, including trim parts. Flatten the seams. Sew the top edge of the grind.
Step 5
Fold the parts with their faces inward, align the edges of the festoons, pin them together with pins and sew a stitch, stitching the parts.
Step 6
On allowances, cut triangles, not reaching about 2 mm to the seam.

Step 7
Turn out a product. Using a peg or wand, straighten the seams well. Iron the seams so that about 1 mm of the main fabric protrudes inside out.
Step 8
Lock the top edge of the grind as your project suggests.
